The silence before the storm was suffocating. The illusion that cloaked them seemed to hold the air in a tense, fragile balance, keeping them hidden from the watchful eyes of the Council’s soldiers stationed near the gates of Thornpeak. Sera could feel the weight of the moment bearing down on her as they crept closer, the sound of their footsteps muffled by the magic she had woven.

Her pulse thrummed in her ears, the power of the mark on her shoulder still vibrant and alive, but it felt different now. More focused. The energy hummed through her veins like a living thing, and she could feel the connection between her and Caelum, pulling them together like magnets.

He glanced back at her as they neared the fortified gates, his expression calm but sharp, the silver gleam in his eyes piercing through the darkness. He didn’t speak, but the silent command in his gaze was enough. They had to be swift, decisive. Once the illusion began to fade, their window of opportunity would close.

  • Blood-Moon Rebellion   Chapter 20: Dawnsong Unbound

    The cold night air in the Frostfang enclave felt different now. It was no longer filled with uncertainty or fear, but with the heavy weight of resolve. Every single person in the camp was preparing for something larger than themselves, something that would change the course of history. The rebellion had a purpose now—a clear goal, a path that would either end in victory or destruction.Sera stood at the edge of the camp, her breath visible in the frigid air. The fire from the central camp had long since died down, and the stars above were hidden behind thick clouds. But in the distance, the faint glow of the rising sun began to creep over the horizon, as if the world itself was holding its breath.Caelum stood next to her, his posture tense but determined. They had spent hours finalizing plans, going over every detail of the assault on the Council’s stronghold. And now, it was time. The final battle.“We move out at dawn,” Caelum said, his voice quiet but filled with an intens

  • Blood-Moon Rebellion   Chapter 19: The Last Red Oath

    The closer they got to Frostfang Delta, the more palpable the tension became. The wind howled through the mountain passes, carrying with it the bitter chill of the impending storm. Sera could feel the weight of it pressing down on her, as though the very landscape was warning them that they were walking into a dangerous unknown.Caelum had been more silent than usual as they navigated the snow-covered terrain. His sharp eyes scanned the horizon, and every now and then, Sera caught a flicker of something in his expression—something that spoke of the burden he carried, the weight of the fallen king’s past that he could never fully escape.For a moment, as they trudged through the snow, Sera allowed herself to look at him more closely. He had been a king, once, revered and feared by his people. But now, he was a rebel—a leader who had chosen to fight against the system that had destroyed him and countless others. He had given everything up, including his past, in pursuit of a future

  • Blood-Moon Rebellion   Chapter 18: Tides of Crimson and Silver

    Sera’s heart raced as she ran toward Caelum, the sharp sound of her footsteps echoing in the now silent forest. The moment she reached him, her breath catching in her throat as she saw the aftermath of the fight. The mercenaries lay scattered around the clearing, their bodies crumpled and lifeless, the silver glow of Caelum’s blade fading as he stepped away from the carnage.He turned to face her, his expression unreadable. His eyes, usually filled with such fire and determination, were now clouded with a shadow of something deeper—something Sera couldn’t quite place.“Sera,” Caelum said, his voice steady but tinged with an emotion she couldn’t decipher. “You made it.”But Sera couldn’t focus on his words. Her mind was still reeling from Matthew’s declaration, the weight of it pressing down on her like a vise. What had he meant? The key to something darker? Was she truly walking toward her own destruction, or was her brother simply trying to manipulate her, like he always had?

    The air grew thick with the sound of approaching footsteps, the rhythmic pound of heavy boots, followed by the chilling, guttural growl of wolves. Sera's heart raced as her mind scrambled to make sense of the situation. Matthew stood before her, his eyes still hauntingly familiar, but they were tinged with something darker now. Something that sent a chill crawling up her spine.She couldn’t understand. She couldn’t reconcile the boy she had once known with this man standing before her. There was no time for questions, no time for the shock to settle. The wolves were closing in, and Caelum was still fighting to hold off the Council’s forces.“Matthew,” she whispered, her voice trembling, “What’s happening? Why are you here?”He stepped closer, his eyes filled with sorrow and something more—something she couldn’t quite name. “I came to stop you,” he said, his voice low and filled with pain. “You don’t understand. The rebellion—it’s all part of their plan. You’re walking straight

    The tremor beneath Sera’s feet intensified, as though the very foundation of Thornpeak was beginning to shift. The walls of the ancient stronghold groaned, the runes flickering with an eerie light as the stone seemed to pulse, alive with magic. The Keystone, now dislodged from its power source, flickered weakly at the center of the chamber, but the chaos around them was far from over.Sera’s heart raced, and she could feel Caelum’s gaze on her, his eyes sharp with urgency. The air felt heavier, thick with the resonance of magic, and her mark burned on her shoulder, a reminder of the immense power within her. But it wasn’t just the mark she had to worry about. The Council’s forces were coming, and they weren’t going to stop.“They’ve found us,” Sera muttered, her voice tight. She could feel the unmistakable presence of the Council’s elite forces moving closer—heavier footsteps, the hum of magic charging the air.“We need to leave, now,” Caelum said, his voice low and commanding
